Where are the Crystal Report .Net assemblies placed when installing the redistribution package?

Question

Running any of the Crystal Reports 10.5 redistributables (CRRedist2008_x86.msi, CRRedist2008_x64.msi or CRRedist2008_ia64.ms) is supposed to, according to the Crystal_Runtime2008.txt file, deploy the following files:

CRVsPackageLib.dll
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Design.dll
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
CrystalDecisions.Data.AdoDotNetInterop.dll
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.Report.dll
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework.dll
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.PluginManager.dll
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Viewing.ReportSource.dll
CrystalDecisions.Keycode.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommLayer.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommonControls.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommonObjectModel.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ObjectFactory.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.XmlSerialize.dll
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll
CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll
CrystalDecisions.Web.dll
CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.dll

But I am unable to find these anywhere on the PC. Does anyone know what location they're installed to? All the other DLLs listed in the .txt file appear in

c:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\2.8\bin

Answer 1

the GAC

Starting with the .NET Framework 4, the default location for the global assembly cache is %windir%\Microsoft.NET\assembly. In earlier versions of the .NET Framework, the default location is %windir%\assembly
